Hi Buf... er.. Bud -
Please send me a copy of those pictures. In a bit of Triumph
irony, I bought a tube shock conversion at the auction... that
was provided by RATCO! I'm hoping I can have it installed w/o
encountering the problem you had. Which conversion kit did you
install? How long ago did you do the conversion? Is this a
common problem? Anybody else with this issue? Thanks.
